The Maker

Shin Megami Tensei and Persona belong to ATLUS. We own nothing, and have simply used their data to create a world of our own. They are the true geniuses behind the scenes.

Warzone (Rear Side Skirmish)

Jin already had a cigarette between his lips by the time he arrived to where the battlefield would take place with the others that came with him. Clearly he would be foolhardy to simply run out in the open without any numbers supporting him. Kings and Shadows, was it? It was obvious he wouldn't be able to take them on all on his own. But at least he wasn't alone with Hibiki, Caestus, Shi, and Ruo following him.

With knuckles cracking in preparation for this battle, Jin allowed a plume of smoke to hiss out through his teeth.

"How many of you are ready to die today?"

No longer was the teacher or the homeless persona that he had earlier. He was starting to get back into his groove as a soldier, ready to die and ready to kill. Peace was a nice blanket to rest in, but it caused him to deteriorate in ways laughable.

"Where are you, Aburai..." he thought to himself as he scanned the area for Ueitawa's culprit.

Though you have more than Four members, only four members will participate at a time. Those who are starting, choose a yellow star as a starting point. Through battle, if one of your members are defeated, this fifth player can join the fight in their place (starting at one of the stars). All players who participate, even if they are back up, will receive EXP for defeated enemies.

Purple Stars = Shadows

Red Stars = King level threats

Blue squares = Ice - Bufu skills have a 20% boost while Agi skills are lowered by 20%. Ability to dodge is also lowered by 20% thanks to the ice surface. Fire skills used on these squares will cause the ice to melt and turn green.

Player vs Shadow Skirmish: A skirmish battle is quite different from the rest. It takes place on a battlefield map where players move individually. Each player can move a certain amount of squares depending on the amount of points they have in their luck stat. For every 10 luck stat you can move a square. However, that's only for the first 50 points you have in your luck stat. After that point, it's every 20 points in your luck stat you can move a square.

To attack an enemy on the battlefield, you have to land on a square next to their own. Depending on the terrain can determine if any skills are strengthened or weakened. If you initiate the attack, you'll automatically be the first to attack, but the enemy also gets an attack back. Once that phase of combat is over, your turn will end.

So to keep it simple, each of your turns you can move and attack once. It doesn't need to be in that specific order. For example: if you're already next to an opponent you can attack them and then move.

If you attack an opponent and one of your teammates are adjacent to that same opponent, you both can attack them back to back. If your entire team surrounds an opponent, all of you attack back to back with the final teammate initiating an all out attack for heavy damage. Take advantage of this team mechanic to win this battle. Enemies can also do this, so beware.

If you're hit by your weakness and downed, you'll only miss your chance to attack the enemy back. After that turn, you'll be standing back up again.

Your starting area on the map will be the stars. Everyone will pick a single star to begin at, so your first post you can choose a star you're starting at and post your movement. You can only travel on open areas, so areas where trees are placed are barricades you cannot travel through. Also recovery skills such as media and mediarama can only be used on your allies if you're on an adjacent square to them (unless you have remote heal). It does not take an attack post, so you can heal yourself or allies and then attack still. The same goes for buff and debuff skills.

When it comes to analyze skills, you can use this any time on athe battlefield and scan any enemy, no matter the location. Auto-skills will only be applicable the first three combat phases of the battle. Meaning the first three actual battle posts you have against a specific opponent. After that, they deactivate.

"Looks like they're finally here. Everyone is in position, so let's get started. Mikoto, don't push yourself with that new weapon. Who knows what will happen if you unleash its full power without limitation."

The Third King was currently sitting on a broken bench in the courtyard. However, with the appearance of her adversaries, she took her stand. Of course her eyes searched for the faces she had seen before, but none of them were there. What a shame. It appeared as if Kogami-san wouldn't get his revenge on those who abandoned him as of yet. Though his demise wasn't as honorable as she had liked, she couldn't help but honor his words. He was not the only one responsible for Four's Death, yet he was the one crucified for it. Well, this was his chance to bring his friends with him. With the battlefield set, and her soldiers in place, she was sure to lead them to victory like so many times before.

"I'll be fine. I'm not used to having the voice of another in my head, but he's not a bad guy at all. We'll be sure to give him some peace here, considering the memories shared with my own. He tried to protect them, yet they didn't even try to save him. I was right about this group since the first time I've met them. What kind of world could they possibly make if they can't save the one infront of them?"

Mikoto examined the Oroborous with dark red eyes. To think this weapon was the man he had seen once before was astonishing. He didn't think much of Kogami before this, most likely because they never spoke before; but now he understood the Shadow completely. The pain of rejection, death, and being cheated out of life was quite sobering to an easy going mind like Mikoto's. Was this alittle of the pain his younger brother was feeling right now after Four's death? He had no idea, but his eyes turned towards the direction of combat as he clenched his feet. With a battle commander like Three in charge, the forces here were like a military force. Would average civilians really make it pass them? Heh, he truly wondered.

From where they stood, it looked like they were somewhat outnumbered. And likely out-gunned as well. He surveyed the battlefield and noticed their adversaries were ready for them. Looking back at the rest of his crew, they were definitely going to be... slow. It's not an ideal set up, but it's what they'll work with for now.

"Each of you take up positions. We'll be hunkering down for a bit to take up formation."

He held up his hand and made a fist to get them an idea what he meant. Jin would be at the second position, the one nearest to the position on the furthest left.

"Let's move. Hibiki, you take point."

Movement:

Jin starts on the second star to the left. He is making 5 spaces to his right. 2 spaces to the right. 1 space up. 2 spaces to the right.

This didn't look like it would be a walk in the park. Was it a smart move to run into a battle like this so quickly? Well, it's not like Hibiki had an answer to that, so he'd have to trust the others to know what they are trying to do here. He had heard some info a while ago, but it wasn't the easiest to get a clear picture so quickly. But he'd doubt these enemies were about to be weak.

''Is there a reason why we're doing this on such short notice? If they are here in groups, that means they were most likely waiting for us to come around, and are prepared for fighting us.''

There was probably no turning back anymore in any case, but it wouldn't hurt to ask as he moved from the furthest left side. They wouldn't get much conversation once actual fighting began, and he could use getting on track as much as possible now that he was getting involved in this to this extent.

Movement:

Starting on the star that is furthest to the left. Moving one space up and seven to the right.

"We do not have time at this point. Angra Mainyu is about to be summoned and they are clearly on the move now. It means we must move in right away and it's our chance to end all of this."

But, something would cause him to change his mind once Tomoe began to talk. Something... something had just clicked in as Tomoe warned and begged them not to fight the Kings. A realization that had him pause for a moment and stare back at their adversaries. It can't be. No, it had to be. How did he not see this earlier? He had some idea of who Angra Mainyu and Ahura Mazda were. But whoever Yachiru is, he was dangerously cunning. Very cunning.

"I will have to second that move, Miss Kyokudou. Not so much to appeal to our own morality, but so much that this whole event... no, this tower is a sacrificial altar for Angra Mainyu," he would begin to explain over the telepathic conversation, "Think about it. Angra Mainyu is the deity and embodiment of evil, the destructive spirit. Would an evil act strengthen this entity? What have you done so far that would be considered to be in the bounds of evil? Think. And would the opposite be the same for Ahura Mazda? Think back to what Doctor Tsurinai had asked earlier as to why she asked why she was weaker than the other two."

The realization should now start to dawn in with all of them. It should, it's obvious by now. But either way, they lose. The Kings kill them, then Angra Mainyu gains its power. But if they kill the Kings, the result is the same no matter what. It was truly apt to say that this tower was a sacrificial altar of human sacrifice. But this also meant bad news.

"Kogami might be already dead by now."

Or they might be holding him hostage. But a more resourceful individual would use him as a manipulative tool to get them in a more disadvantageous position. It's hard to tell if he's still alive or not. But he would ask the Kings once they get close enough and when they get rid of the shadows. They still need parts for a good reason.

"We will need to resurrect the Fourth King, it's our way to weaken Angra Mainyu and to strengthen Ahura Mazda, in other words, Miss Kyokudou. Eliminate the Shadows and acquire their parts. I'll leave your side to deal with that."

To Hibiki, Jin nodded and gave further commands, "Hibiki, the order still stands. Take point and give them your best shot. I'll stand guard here with the rest. I'll come over to provide support if the situation gets bad."

—Strength Name: History Teacher—Description: Already having a degree in history, Jin has a fairly wide knowledge of the world's story in various places. This also comes with some knowledge of the myths of many countries both ancient and modern. This serves to help him identify what lies in this world of Shadows and Personas and to better understand it.

It did seem like there wasn't much of a choice at the moment, as they were most likely going to be attacked soon, but this didn't feel right. Since when did people fight against each other in times like these? To save the world, but through possible death of others...it wouldn't exactly be a good way to make a new start...

Hibiki would look towards the enemies as Tomoe intervened with her talk, the older man giving his own input soon after.''Why did you all start fighting to begin with? Clashing with other people with such haste can only succeed to bring about more fighting. Even if it's simply for revenge. Maybe it's supposed to be a lesson to learn. What good comes out of conflict that ends with death? At base, it probably does have to do with morality. We shouldn't be doing something solely because of the event itself, but because it's the right thing to do in general. Would any of you want to save the world through killing more than may be necessary?'' He wasn't completely in the picture when in came to the whole matter of Gods and their representations, but he could follow what this talk was about. Promoting fighting was sort of digging the hole deeper, and on top of it, it seemed to be helping the real enemy as well.

''Are we going to run from the others or talk to them if they approach? We can decide to not create more strife, but they will keep going at this rate.'' One possibility was to get done with the Shadows before the human opponents reached them, and simply walk away. If that was even possible to accomplish. Still, if they wanted to do what had just been proposed, the optimal resul would be to convince them to stop fighting too. It wouldn't be a help if they tried bringing someone back, and meanwhile those guys went ahead to corner and eliminate one of them. That would be no progress in the long run.

''Just be careful. They could assume you an easy prey and chase if they see you're basically hiding out rather than taking any initiative.'' These were probably smart in some way. Although it was more likely they would try to gang up on him with the current positioning. But they couldn't just stand around and wait.

He would move over to the enemy in the center, his newest Persona appearing in a flutter of black feathers as it attempted to impale the Shadow with ice.

Well... What Tomoe and Jin was saying made sense. If Angra Mainyu was indeed the force of all of Mankinds evil, then it only followed that doing evil deeds increased his power, regardless of who it was that did it. This was HIS domain, after all...

"...So what you're saying is that we should ignore the Kings. But we can still defend ourselves if it comes to it? Avoiding unnecessary blood being spilled... Alright. I can get behind that."

Shizuka had never believed that killing was a solution. It only started a cycle of more death and destruction until someone took a stance to stop it... Back then, he had disagreed, being more of a "The ends justify the means" mentality... But ever since he had come here, and seen the things he had, and heard what the others had been talking about... Caestus wasn't sure what to think anymore... He'd go along with the plan regardless if he thought it to be wrong or not... All he really wanted in the end was to see the region return to it's former glory... and to see Shizuka again... "Well, you can take care of the shadows right? When you do, I can take any parts with me, and return them to Soki. I doubt I'll be of much more use here anyway..." He said with a frown. It hurt his pride to say that, but... what else could he really do at this stage...? Not much, sadly. So, why not take on the one job he could do. "I'm certain Ruo can cover my spot here way better... Until then, I'll do whatever's necessary to be as little of a liability as possible... Heck, I'm prepared to die for the sake of returning this region to peace... It's her home after all..."

Okay, so from that one attack with was obvious there was a miscalculation here. After all, this person was a dead man walking so their last data on him was the information of him using a strange ability to seal Limbo. Suddenly he had returned, and with him some increase in power scale? Just like its original, Shadow Hikuro was tough and took the vanguard because it could take a hit. However, this was a rather powerful hit. Even with the ability to endure, he couldn't attack back immediately. After all, ice was not his favorite element to be struck by. Hopefully this display of power would inform the rest, especially the Kings, of this young man's specialty. The Shadow sucked its teeth, as it went to recover its footing from the strike.
